Heidi Montag on Ms. Universe

Seriously... could you get any more Britney-like. Britney Spears is FAMOUS for her nude colored diamond covered outfit on the awards show... and here comes Heidi Montag wearing pretty much an identical outfit, except it is a mix between stripper want to be and athlete with the racer stripes down the pants. I mean COME ON! The girl can't dance either. She was a few seconds ahead of her dancers, which weren't the greatest either, and she couldn't move. All she did was wiggled her non-existant hips and shake her flat ass. Maybe I am being a little harsh, but JESUS... if you are gonna be on TV at least make sure the dance moves are in sync. Oh... and lip singing was out a LONG time ago!

If you didn't see it... here is a copy of it... Enjoy... er... not so much!

Heads up... angry post!

WTF! Seriously... what are we... 12? Put on the big girl panties and GET OVER IT!

Meeting people...

I love meeting people! It is one of my favorite things to do. I am outgoing and have no shame walking straight up to someone, introducing myself, and saying something to make them laugh. I love when I meet someone I have already known, but never seen, and they are a million times cooler than I thought they were! Megs... that would be you! It makes knowing that person so much better! It makes me excited to be able to say... "Hey, that's my friend." On the other hand... it really sucks when you meet someone and they are nothing like what you thought. It is way disappointed. You work them up in your mind and they fall WAY short. Unfortunately, this happens, and in someone else's eyes, I am sure I have done this to someone and I apologize. I know how sucky it is. But... you've done it too!

You work yourself up and then you wish you could go back to how things were. Just knowing their voice, and not knowing what they were like in person. Every positive has to have a negative. That is the downside in life. Oh well... shit happens. To the people that have made me wish we can go back in time... it's not that I don't like you... it's just... well... we were better off before! Nobody in particular... just everyone in my past that falls under this criteria.

To everyone else... the ones that were so much fucking cooler than I thought... You fucking rock! I love you... I hate your face... I enjoy calling you my friends and look forward to many more good times!

And again... another mouthful from Kristin... I'm out!

Spencer Bell Legacy Concert Weekend

This weekend was a blast! I met lots of people, made new friends, and heard a LOT of great music. So here it is... my view on the weekend.

The whole trip started Thursday August 13th when I bawled my eyes out as my mom left the house to take my daughter to the pool so I wouldn't have to see her cry when I left. Instead I cried anyway. I made it to the airport in PLENTY of time for my flight, just to find out that it had been delayed. First an hour... then an hour and a half... then almost two hours. Finally at 7:48 we pulled away from the gate... we were schedule for 6:14 originally.

I landed at Baltimore/Washington International Airport at 9:55. I finally got to see Nikki, Vicky, and Jeanette. YAY! We made our way to Elexses house... but not before gorging on McDonalds on the car ride there. The night was interesting as we cracked up at stories, pajama choices, black people on TV, being sad, and the cow noises coming from Elexses computer.



Finally, at 2:30... we shut the lights off and went to bed.

Before we knew it... we were waking up at 5 am to get ready to leave for our 10 hour road trip to Detroit, Michigan. At 5:35, Elexses comes out of her bedroom saying, "You bitches are still awake?" which caused another fit of giggles. At 6 am we all piled into the cars and headed out, dropping Nikki's car off and heading out of the state of Maryland. The trip was long! Full of numb asses, switcharoos on seats, rest stops, and ding dongs.

We arrived at the hotel in time to dye Nikki's hair... Vicky and Nikki to get ready, us to get some grub, and them to leave for an evening with the Bell's. After they left Elexses and Jeanette decided to take a dip in the pool and I went off to meet up with Megs, Gallie (Camille... I don't get it) and Lisa! I was very excited and tackled Megs! LMAO! Well, almost knocked her over lmao. Anyway, we all hung out for a while until Jess showed up. I jammed with my beer and ipod as I walked the halls of the hotel! YAY! Jess' ass finally showed up and we all sat outside the doors of the hotel, drinking beer, vodka and orange juice (No officer we are low on Vitamin C... it's just OJ) and dancing, smoking, and having a good ol time.

At about 12:30 Nikki and Vicky showed back up and we all made our way off to our rooms to get some rest.

**August 15th**
We woke up... got around... and walked our happy asses to KFC for lunch. After a quick freshen up, run to rite aid for cigarettes and chap stick, we headed to Callahan's. We were barely out of the car when Heather (RONAGAL) made her way to me to say hi! **Nice to meet you heather**

Once inside I met Bill Bell, and a few other monkey ladies... (Allison). The show started and was AMAZING. The Stevedores are freaking AWESOME live! I love them. And more power to Ben J for playing 4 performances back to back! Gotta love that guy!





After the Stevedores was Tin Tin Can and the Dan Graupner. Tin Tin Can's music sounds SOOO different live... good... just different. Dan Graupner was awesome and rocked out some spencer music for us acoustic style and cut his finger in the meantime. After that, there was a small break before 100 Monkeys took the stage. Jackson was out... but the energy was definitely there. It was very nice to see Ben G, Ben J, and Jerad take on more singing than normal.



I loved it. They did their old music, new music, and even a few Spencer Bell covers, including The Monkey Song (a favorite among fans) Violin (off the new Live & Wasted album) and more. Another favorite was the resurrection of Wing on Fire! Awesome song!





We even had some Uncle Larry on the drums. (See above picture)

We took a quick break, and came back for round two... the much anticipated and SOLD OUT 21+ show. The energy was definitely up! This show was spent listening to music and talking to the bands. Drew and the Medicinal Pen showed up for this show and I had a blast talking to Missy, Anna, and Drew. The girls are hillariously funny!



The show was kicked off with a shot that all the bands took in memory of Spencer and a toast to all the attendees. I spent time out on the back patio and by the parking lot hanging with friends, meeting the bands, and making new friends.



That is Jerad after he tells me he hates Nikki's face. I love him! He might have been bumped up to coolest fucking monkey because later he walked up to Nikki and said... "I hate your face Bitch". BAHAHA!











So to sum it up... it was amazing.... the crowd was hype...



The music was AWESOME.... (www.SpencerBellMemorial.com)

and the final jam session with all the bands was amazing!



And nothing like talking to Jerad to close up the evening!



The ride home was long... and the stay at the airport was horrible... but... I'm home... I have good memories... good friends... and I can't wait to see you all at the next one!

Life and a brief thank you...

I am sure I have a few friends that can agree with me on this. Life is hard! If it were easy we would all be bored. At least that is what I keep telling myself. Even though life is hard, you have to look around and see the good things in life. For example, my daughter is the funniest person in the world. She cracks me up. I can be in the worst mood and she will find a way to make me smile just by raising her eyebrows. Her and her damn facial expressions! I love her to death. Life is normally hard, but it seems like lately it has gotten harder. The economy BLOWS and everyone is struggling. No one has any money and it would be nice to get a break every once in a while. As much as I wish this would happen... it won't. Not for a while anyway. It is suppose to be getting better... but I won't hold my breath.

I just want to say thanks to all my great friends... you know who you are... Nikki, Vicky, Megs, my new buddy Jess, and of course all my monkey ladies... thank you for keeping me sane... if I ever was. I know I can be bitchy and crazy and loud and bossy... emphasis on the bossy... but I love you for putting up with me! I don't know where I would be without you! Love you to death!
